murdoch is such a rich man. now we're reading about all the minneapolis millions of dollars in settlements throughout the years. that murdoch has paid in the past. so, the question is -- >> right, right. >> can he, can this company continue to pay its way out of such a devastating problem? >> i think it's going to be a challenge. it's long been said on wall street there's a bit of a murdoch discount, if you will, for murdoch shares. the company doesn't seem it always operates exactly for shareholders. it operates for rupert first. he has about a 38% controlling or voting stake. he will have discretion to do what he wants. buying "the wall street journal," for example, is something that the rest of the company and its shareholders wouldn't necessarily would have wanted to do. rupert, to the extent he is seen as weighing down shares and hurting kpt will hurt him going forward. and he is an 80-year-old man. a lot of of people are wondering, especially given how bad this has gotten, he can run a company. >> thanks.
